Fentons is our go-to for ice cream, and well for most Oaklanders. You will usually find a line to get in, but service is quick. Also offers a seated food service, which is not bad either.

Getting Around

This is the one of the two close BART station. This one is preferable, since two lines (Pittsburg/Bay Point, and Richmond) run to San Francisco through this station. However, the neighborhood can be sketchy late at night. If you plan to use BART later than 9pm, we would recommend getting off at the Rockridge station (on the Richmond line).

Equally convenient BART station from our place, and in a very safe neighborhood. The only downside is that just one line (Richmond) runs through the station.
